Guest Gregg Hill Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Hello! I have some minor appearance issues to which I cannot yet find an answer. I am posting here in the hope that some bored guru will stumble upon this post while I am off on Google looking for the answer. 1) I cannot turn off the "Stop USB Mass Storage Device" item in the system tray when restricted users are logged into a locked down 2000 TS. I have "Hide the notification area" checked under User Config > Admin Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar. I need to kill that so no end user can disable the USB backup drive on the TS. 2) Another thing I have Googled to death is trying to find a GPO setting to enable desktop icon auto arrange for all users. Anybody have a clue? Thank you! Gregg Hill (slowly stepping through the lockdown policy still to look for the above items)

Here is another annoyance: In spite of using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/250380/en-us and other articles to remove the three "stub path" registry entries noted below, and a gutted Default User profile, I still get an IE icon created on each new user's "Start > Programs" menu. At least I killed the OE icon creation!

Guest Gregg Hill Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Re: TS session minor annoyances...that are making me crazy! I'll try that. Any ideas on the items in my first post? Thank you!

Guest Gregg Hill Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Re: TS session minor annoyances...that are making me crazy! Well, it appears I did not have the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\>{26923b43-4d38-484f-9b9e-de460746276c} registry entry to kill. I will do that and let you know how it goes. Thank you! P.S. I still have that pesky "arrange icons via GPO" question nagging me.

Guest Gregg Hill Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Re: TS session minor annoyances...that are making me crazy! I just looked on the client's 2003 TS and the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\>{26923b43-4d38-484f-9b9e-de460746276c} entry is not there.
